Trades & Technology

This tutorial offers a clear, step-by-step guide through the creation of a wide range of two dimensional sample workpieces similar to those found in today's actual manufacturing environment. Using SmartCAM®Production Milling, v. 10.0, readers begin with simple, introductory projects where basic foundation building skills are developed, then move on to more advanced tutorials where these essential skills are reinforced and built upon. Intended for schools which use SMARTCAM® for computer numerical control.

• Begins each chapter with a list of outcome-based objectives, allowing both instructors and students to quickly evaluate the material and its level of difficulty. Pg.___

• Serves as a true “tutorial”, describing each move of the CAM operator with illustrations depicting desired results. Pg.___

• Lets students progress at their own pace. Pg.___

• Develops and reinforces preliminary skills first, forming a solid foundation upon which to build more advanced techniques. Pg.___

• Allows readers to explore the variety of methods to accomplish any one particular task with SmartCAM®. Pg.___

• Designs tutorials from a part manufacturing viewpoint, asking students to build individual parts in SmartCAM® then actually machine the part on a CNC vertical machining center. Pg.___

• Includes more challenging tutorials that demonstrate advanced operations that require workpieces to be machined on all sides. Pg.___
